I'm a huge fan of Kiyosaki for the mindset...theres a gazillion ways to get rich, not just one. His detractors tend to be those who work for brokerage firms. After all, who is this johntreed guy, and what makes him qualified to post a website full of negativity. Network Marketing does work...as long as it has a solid product: Avon, Mary Kay. I've actually been browsing MLMs for a few years trying to find a product that I believe in to be associated with. Luckily, the skin care line I've used for years pulled out of ULTA and is now a MLM...its actually more cost effective for a product to be distributed by word of mouth than it is by advertising.
RichDad is probably the worst book of the series. I bought his newest book Increase your financial IQ and read it on the plane to Richmond. I also like his wife's book Rich Woman...again for mindset and motivation...don't read it for investment advice.
Here is the link to my amazon store I set up this week where I sell it.

Kiyosaki's main point that I agree most with is "Savers are Losers" Of course we all have to save in order to build capital for investing, once you have a your nest egg...you have to tap into leveraged products. If you bought gold 20 years ago you'd just barely be breaking even. The reason the market has gone up is because the value of the dollar has gone down, so it requires more dollars to buy a stock and/or barrel of oil or oz of gold.
